See answer: The amount of creatine and water that you should take depends on a lot of factors. A good rule of thumb for daily water consumption is to take your overall body weight, divide that number in half and drink approximately that many oz. Of water. While taking creatine, consume an extra 16 to 20 oz. Of water for every 5 grams of creatine consumed. Light yellow or clear urine reflect adequate hydration.
